Spanish Flu of 1918 and the Pandemics History

Summary

The Spanish Flu was one of the deadliest viral outbreaks in history. It erupted just as World War I was coming to an end in 1918. The virus wreaked havoc across the entire world and ravaged as many 50 million lives by conservative estimates. While we do not know about the true epicenter of the fatal disease, it spread globally with soldiers as carriers. While the sad event is etched on the hearts of those who suffered from it, those who lived to tell about it also shared the lessons learned. Many of the lessons that had been learned in the wake of the devastation were applied in the current pandemic spread. We need to also be prepared should a similar situation arise, again, in the future. Here’s a preview of this special book, and what else you’ll discover: Rise of the Spanish Flu as the silent killer and how it was detected The trail of how it spread country by country to decimate hoards of people How utter confusion and affliction became commonplace The courageous stance of front-line workers in the fight How the best minds proposed solutions to curtail further spread What actions were taken globally in search for a cure
